Jan’s talk will continue exploring the latest developments of the Muvr project. He will compare the code from last year’s Scala eXchange, explain what was planned, and how these plans had to change when faced with reality.

After a brief introduction to the nature of distributed systems, from distributed databases, through distributed state, to distributed computation, you will learn how to use Akka Cluster and Akka Persistence to implement such distributed systems. Once the data is safely stored in a journal, it is important to be able to perform deeper analysis. To do so, Jan will show you how to access the data in the journal in a distributed computation program running in Apache Spark. With the mechanics done, Jan will explain how to use (deep) neural networks that can be very easily trained to recognize patterns in the ingested data.

You will learn the advantages and traps of designing distributed domains, data and computation: systems that may become the next generation of financial systems, bringing elasticity, resilience and responsiveness. You will look in particular at systems that consume data from IoT / wearables, and that perform immediate and batch analyses.
